flattened with indications of two broad callosities just above the 

 flattened portion. Anterior tibia tridentate. 



Length. — 12 mm. 



Type locality. — Chontales, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. 



Type. — In the British Museum. 



Material examined. — A pair (of which the female is probably a 

 paratype) from Costa Rica, loaned for study by the British Museum ; 

 one female from Tuis, C. R., 2,400 feet, C. H. Lankester. 



CHLAENOBIA AEQUATA subsp. CHIAPENSIS, n. subsp. 



Similar in most respects to the typical subspecies but differing 

 in the slightly coarser punctures of the head and pronotum and in the 

 conformation of the aedeagus. The lateral appendages of the aedeagus 

 in the typical subspecies are short and extend about half-way from 

 their insertion to the apex of the conjoined lateral lobes. In the 

 subspecies chiapensis {fig. 10) these appendages are considerably 

 longer, almost reaching the level of the apex of the lobes. 



Type locality. — Chiapas, Mexico. 



Type. — U.S.N.M. no. 51044. 



Material examined. — Type (male), three paratypes (males) and 

 two paratypes (females) from the Pacific slope of the Cordilleras, 

 altitude 800 to 1000 meters, state of Chiapas, L. Hotzen, 1919. 



CHLAENOBIA SCABRIPYGA Bates 



Chlaenohia scahripyga Bates, 1888, Biol. Centr.-Amer., Coleopt., vol. 2, pt. 2, 

 p. 167. 

 Head coarsely punctured, moderately densely so on clypeus and 

 Irons, sparsely so on median portion of vertex, clypeofrontal suture 

 deeply impressed and strongly biarcuate, with the median cusp 

 prolonged a short distance onto the frons as a median impressed line, 

 clypeus with margin more or less following the curvature of the 

 clypeofrontal suture, feebly reflexed, central portion nearly flat. 

 Antenna ten-segmented. Pronotum transversely oblong, sides obtusely 

 angulate at middle, lateral margin nearly straight throughout its 

 length as viewed from side, viewed from above both anterior and 

 posterior angles are obtuse and rounded ; punctures similar in size to 

 those on frons, moderately densely placed except along the lateral 

 margins and on median portion of disk, where they are slightly 

 less dense. Scutellum equilateral with side margins curved, surface 

 moderately coarsely and densely punctured. Elytra with sutural 

 margins broadly and strongly tumid, discal costae not well defined,
